It's stinking cold!!

My employer will be back from Arizona in 2 days---in the meantime, I was thawing water pipes in her house today with a hairdryer and a heat gun! How insane is that for March!!??? She lives in the city, so the water pipe runs under the driveway, which DH tells me causes them to freeze. (Ours never has--knock on wood!) The newspaper said running a stream of water the size of a pencil was recommended for those on city water the next few days. Oh, well. My employer's DH said I should now go get my plumber's license--I told him wait til he sees my bill!!
